THE BIRMAN, RAGDOLL & ASSOCIATED BREEDS CLUB ALL BREEDS CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW (OPEN TO ALL MEMBERS OF ACF and CCCA Affiliated Bodies) SUNDAY 19th June 2016 John Frost Stadium, Cheong Park Cnr Eastfield & Bayswater Roads, Croydon Melways Ref: 50 G8 JUDGING PANEL Ring 1 - All Exhibits HEATHER ROBERTS ‐ TICA USA Dr. Heather Roberts is an American International All Breeds judge in TICA and serves on the TICA Genetics Committee. Although originally from Texas, she has lived in California for the last 15 years. Currently she is the Dean of Sciences and Math at a small college in northern California. She is married to Jeff Roberts, also an All Breeds judge in TICA. The name of their cattery “PuraVida” reflects their love for paradise in Costa Rica. Heather breeds Singapuras and European Burmese and finds the incredible intelligence of the Singapura and the laidback personality of the European Burmese to be a nice balance in her life. Their breeding program focuses on healthy cats with loving temperaments foremost. She has also shown Bengal, Cymric, Siberian, Maine Coon, Somali, Bombay, and companion cats. She has had the extreme pleasure of judging in Australia and New Zealand several times over recent years. She enjoys the countryside, the new friendships, and of course the fabulous quality of the cats. She has imported cats from Australia and New Zealand for use in her own breeding program, and has exported cats back to Australia in an effort to truly internationalize some gene pools. She hopes to someday import a lovely Burmilla for her and Jeff to enjoy and promote in TICA. -

Breeding Policy
ORIENTAL BREEDING POLICY This breeding policy accompanies and supplements the Oriental Registration Policy and should be read in conjunction with that document. The aim of this breeding policy is to give advice and guidance to ensure breeders observe what is considered “best practice” in breeding Orientals with the over-riding objective of improving the Oriental cat to meet all aspects of the Oriental Standard of Points, which describes the ideal for the recognised varieties in the Oriental Group. The origins of the Oriental Until the late 1960’s very few Orientals were seen at shows other than the Havanas (which had their own classes), and the Lilacs and Whites which were exhibited as ‘Any Other Variety (AOV)’. By the end of the decade the Havanas and the Tabby Pointed Siamese (only recognised as a variety of Siamese in 1966), were among the best Siamese types in the country. With the help of prudent outcrossing between Havanas and Tabby Point Siamese, and by backcrossing to both parental varieties, further improvement was made in the Havanas and the emergence of the Oriental Tabby as a beautiful variety in its own right was assured. Hot on the heels of the Oriental Tabbies came the Blues, Blacks, Tortoiseshells (Torties), Silver Tabbies, Smokes and Shaded Silvers. The Oriental is now well established in the UK and over 50 years of breeding has developed and fixed good phenotype in the breed but with a decreasing gene-pool. The Oriental breed has one of the largest numbers of gene variations of any breed of pedigree cat recognised by GCCF. -

TICA Oriental Longhair & Oriental Shorthair Breed Introduction Www
TICA Oriental Longhair & Oriental Shorthair Breed Introduction www.tica.org General Description: The Oriental is a member of the Siamese breed group and comes in two coat lengths: the Oriental Shorthair and the Oriental Longhair. Like all of the group members (Siamese, Balinese, Oriental Shorthairs and Oriental Longhairs), Orientals are long, slender, stylized cats. They are lively, talkative and intelligent and are very attached to their people. All of the members of the breed group have the same physical standard except for coat length and color. What makes the Oriental Shorthair distinct from the rest of the Siamese group is their wide array of colors combined with a short sleek coat while the Oriental Longhair has a semi-long coat draping the elegant body. History : Orientals are a man-made breed that originated in the 1950s in England. After World War II the number of breeders and breeding cats was reduced. Some of the remaining breeders became quite creative as they rebuilt their breeding programs. Many modern breeds developed from the crosses done at that time. One such breed is the Oriental Shorthair/Longhair. Russian Blues, British Shorthairs, Abyssinians, and regular domestic cats were crossed to Siamese. The resulting cats were not pointed and were crossed back to Siamese. In surprisingly few generations, there were cats that were indistinguishable from Siamese in all ways except color. As the Siamese pointed color is genetically recessive, pointed kittens were also produced. The best Siamese-colored cats from these crosses went back into the Siamese breed, enlarging and strengthening the Siamese gene pool. -

February 16, 2021 Open Letter to Federal, State & Local Government Officials Regarding Pets and COVID-19 Precautions We in T
February 16, 2021 Open Letter to Federal, State & Local Government Officials Regarding Pets and COVID-19 Precautions We in the responsible pet care community commend the swift actions you and your peers across the country are taking to protect human health and reduce the current surge in COVID-19 infection cases. As you take these critical steps to control the spread of the disease, including again directing business closures, we urge you to continue to take into account the well-being of the pets and other animals loved and cared for by the citizens in your communities. Nearly 85 million American households own at least one pet, and 95% of pet owners consider their pets to be part of the family, according to the 2019-2020 American Pet Products Association National Pet Owners Survey. As the population faces the ongoing effects of the pandemic, including mental stress and prolonged social isolation, many people turn to their pets for comfort and companionship. The ranks of pet owners have also swelled as unprecedented numbers of people welcomed new pets into their lives over the past months. It is vital that businesses that provide the products, services or housing necessary for pet care, and the pets themselves, are included among the critical infrastructure that is allowed to remain open. Just as grocery stores and hospitals provide necessary sustenance and medical care to humans, pet stores that sell food, products and supplies, and businesses that offer veterinary, boarding and grooming services, must remain operational to ensure the continued humane care of companion animals. Pet stores supply nearly one-third of all dog and cat food; that number is much higher for food required for pets like small mammals, reptiles and fish.
